If you enjoy ASMR videos to fall asleep, have you considered adding vocal ASMR sound effects to a sleep mix? Let’s explore the best vocal ASMR sounds to try, along with some ideas of what to mix them with for the best night of sleep.

What Are Vocal ASMR Sounds?

ASMR is an acronym for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. This describes the tingling sensation that some people will experience from the top of their scalp towards the back of their neck when they hear certain sounds.

Not everyone experiences ASMR. But for those who do, listening to vocal ASMR sounds may help them relax and fall asleep faster.

Elvish Whispers

Elvish whispers are perfect for people who struggle to drift to sleep when actual words are spoken. Because Elvish words are made up, there are no words to distract you from falling asleep.

While Elvish whispers can work with a variety of other sound mixes, try combining them with nature sounds or Tibetian singing bowls

Sleep Affirmations

Sleep affirmations are simple sentences spoken directly in your ears, such as:

• “Now is time for rest.”
• “You are loved.”
• “You relax your body, you relax your mind.”
• “Release the day.”

This type of vocal ASMR sound works well with several other kinds of sounds, including:

• Relaxing instrumental music
• White noise
• Nature sounds
• Water sounds

Ear Blowing

Ear blowing isn’t an ASMR sound that’s suited to everyone. But you need to try it yourself to know whether or not it helps you relax.

Try not to add other wind or blowing sounds to your ear blowing ASMR mix so you don’t distract too much from it. Some people will even enjoy this sound effect on its own.

Breathing Prompts

If you struggle to regulate your breathing when you’re trying to fall asleep, consider adding breathing prompts to your sound mix. Breathing prompts are simple — a soothing voice tells you to breathe in and out at a slow speed.

Try this one with a soothing melody or nature sounds to help you relax your breathing.

Purring

Purring isn’t exactly “vocal” — at least not from a human perspective! But if you enjoy other vocal ASMR sounds, you may find that you enjoy adding purring sounds to your sleep mix.

Try mixing purring sounds with other sounds you’d hear if your cat were sleeping on you. The sound of a fan, dripping sink, or running dishwasher could work well.

Counting Sheep

Imagine a soothing voice next to your ears counting sheep until you drift to sleep. If you need help picturing the sheep, you can even add nature sounds that mimic a meadow or farm.
